I really liked this story, especially because I've read all of your other stories, so I might have liked this one the best. Little Dumbledore...he's so cute! It's really adorable and very well-written.

>> Oooh, thats so sweet! I have never imagined Dumbledore as a kid, but you wrote it beautifully. Excellent job on the dialogue... it flowed perfectly and was entertaining throughout the entire story. Well done!

This challenge topic was an interesting one and I'm glad you responded. This one-shot is just perfect...not too long and not too short. You captured the holiday season and Albus' feelings concerning socks marvelously. This one gave me a smile. :)

Smart story, I really enjoyed it. I liked seeing Dumbledore portrayed as a boy, since most of us just figure he has been a wise old wizard since birth. Plus, he has his eccentricities, so I'm sure he had an interesting childhood. Great job.

Wow, that was really great :D I love it, I really do. You're an excellent writer. Everything was the way I thought Dumbledore's childhood would be (right down to the names even... Algernon ^_^) And the books - brilliant! Kudos to you, you did an excellent job :D

hey hey! let me be the first to review since I was the one who issued the challege. :] GREAT JOB! LOL! I don't think I've ever come across a fic. with Alus as a kid yet... And I only realized that Dumbledore MUST have had parents when I read you fic. I really can't imagine him being so young... You really did a great job!!!
